Overview

This research demonstrates enhanced mechanical properties in lightweight composites, indicating potential for aerospace applications.

Key Points

  • The study aims to create a lightweight, impact-resistant composite inspired by natural nacre structures.
  • Fabrication of B4C/CNT composite films through sequential boric acid precipitation.
  • Utilization of spark plasma sintering for in situ B4C formation.
  • Testing energy absorption using laser-induced projectile impact testing.
  • B4C/CNT composite films have a maximum density of 1.78 g/cm³.
  • Achieved dynamic compressive strength of 1098 MPa.
  • Demonstrated 3.5% higher energy absorption capacity compared to pure CNT films.
